Craftsmanship built for lake homes
From humidity-resistant finishes to custom built-in furniture that stands up to daily wear, we build with the realities of lakeside living in mind.
Custom Woodwork and Home Remodeling in Cornelius, NC
Premier Renovations, Inc. brings custom woodwork and thoughtful renovations to homeowners across Cornelius, NC, from lakeside cottages to newer builds near Jetton Park.
Custom Woodwork Built for Lake Norman Living in Cornelius
Cornelius sits right on Lake Norman, and that shapes what homeowners here actually need from a renovation. Boat gear, wet towels, and muddy shoes from Robbins Park or Ramsey Creek Park mean a lot of local families come to us asking about custom mudrooms before anything else, wanting a real landing zone that keeps the rest of the house clean.
Many of the homes around The Peninsula, Antiquity, and the older streets near downtown Cornelius were built for a different era of entertaining. We regularly open up galley kitchens, add custom cabinetry built to fit oddly shaped walls, and reconfigure primary bathrooms with custom bathroom renovations that feel closer to what buyers expect from a Lake Norman home today.
Whether you're updating a lake house you've owned for twenty years or renovating a newer build off Catawba Avenue or near Bailey Road, our team designs around the way you'll actually use the space, not just what looks good in a photo.
Why Cornelius chooses us

Questions we hear often
Frequently asked questions
The questions homeowners ask us most. If yours is not here, call the shop and ask.
Do you handle full home renovations or just single rooms?
Both. We're set up as a whole home remodeling contractor, so we can manage a full house transformation from the framing stage through final finish work, or we can focus on one space like a kitchen or bathroom.
What makes you different from a typical kitchen renovation contractor?
Our carpenters build custom cabinetry and millwork in-house, so your custom kitchen renovation isn't limited to stock cabinet lines. We design and build cabinetry to fit your exact layout and storage needs.
Do you handle permitting for structural work like additions?
Yes. We handle permitting and structural work for home additions and room expansions alongside our finish carpentry and remodeling services.
How does a renovation consultation work?
We start with an on-site walkthrough to understand your goals, existing layout, and budget. From there, we put together a scope of work and timeline before any contract is signed, so you know what to expect before committing.
